Author Topic: DG pipe opinions? (Read 8030 times)

Picked up a quad and it came with a DG pipe and silencer. Going for an OEM look. I would like to use this pipe. Are these decent pipes or is it scrap metal? It would look similar to oem and that is a big plus for me. My cylinder is ported so I can't run the stock pipe. Currently have an old Paul Turner TRX race on it and that doesn't run too bad but not the look I am going for. Thanks.

Well I am sure people will say it's a piece of junk, people also say this about the FMF and I am running one. Yeah the DG won't be optimum, but it is pretty easy to change the pipe out and try it. If you like it great, if not change it to something else.

Kind of my thoughts. I see I could still buy it new if i wanted to. It doesn't sound too popular though.

Popular no!! But if it pulls and hits where you need it to for yor application then so be it, dg it is....

Can't speak for the pipe but I have a DG silencer on my bike with a CT pipe and really like it. Has a good sound to it. Straight flow through design.

I believe the DG pipe is an OEM replacement or comes quite close to the stock feel. My sister and brother in-law swear by that pipe. They have one on each of their 3 R's. 100% stock other than reeds and FMF silencer.

not necessarily true, not optimal, but you can use the stock pipe and silencer if you wanted to.

as for DG, their pipes mimic OEM bends and shape- therefore the performance should be similar to stock. I have no idea why you would want an "OEM" look to the pipe. If its a stock showroom peice put an OEM on there and let it sit there in a corner, if its a rider spend a little money and get a good performing pipe for it.

just because you use it doesnt change the fact its crap compared to a LRD or Sparks - for example

all silencers are straight through design

Now having said all that, Im grumpy and havent had my coffee yet. If you happy with it then whatever, good for you. at least you are riding and riding a 250r.

as I said - carry on

:surprise:

Turn down

Straight.
I've read on this site and the other site that the turn down hurts performance. Sorry if I was misinformed. I didn't want to offend anyone or put any bad info out there.

we are piddling over nothing, but you are discussing the end cap, either way the flow is "straight through" the silencer.

Rupp250 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2014, 12:38:52 PM »

Just because it is "crap" to you, doesn't mean it is crap to someone else. Many people run everything stock as well. To me those Sparks or LRD pipes are crap because they were not built to my motor designs.

Back in the day I had a coffmans and an fmf that were routed like a stocker and the dg. If you like that look you could even possibly mount a stock heat shield to them. Not the best pipes normally but...

Tim Farr used to be a big DG rider. Dunno if he used the pipes but he definitely used the silencers
